governing insanity. The case was given to
the jury at $40 o'clock. The court room
had been crowded all day, many members
of the bar and citizens having sat during
the entire session. Mr.. and Mrs. Fogarty
had occupied seats near their son, and Mr..
Kieffer and some Of his friends sat near the
Solicitor General.
There was great deal of uncertainty as
to how the jury would stand As soon as
the twelve filed into the jury room dinner
was served to them and they postponed
talking about the case until they had fin
ished eating After being out about an
hour they sent message to his honor ask
ing him II they could attach a recommenda-
ton to their verdict. Judge Adams did not
send reply, but went back to the court
house and had the jury brought in. He
then read the section OF the Code author
izing jmics to make recommendations, but
added that a recommendation was not bind
ing upon him, and that he need not heed it
unless he chose.
A VERDICT OF GUILTY.
In about five minutes after retiring the
second time the jury knocked loudly on the
door. Very few were present when they
were brought into the court room this time,
although the news that they had agreed
spread rapidly. The verdict read:
I'VE, the jury, find the defendant guilty,
COURT
1t was signed by William r. Evans, fore
man.
The prisoner and his father took the YER
dict calmly. The mother was not in the
room at the time. Mr. Meldrim asked to
have the jury polled. That was done and
every one OF the twelve answered that the
verdict read was his. Mr.. Meldr'im then
gave notice that he would move for a new
trial, and he made an application to have
his client released on bail pending the hear
ing Of the motion.
FoGARTY'S BOND FINED.
At Q o'clock last night Judge Adams fixed
the amount of bond to be given at IS, 600
No effort was made last night to give the
bond, but it is understood that one will be
made some time this week. The Judge did
not give an intimation of when he will pass
sentence. The penalty of assault with in
tent to murder is not less than two years or
more than ten years in the penitentiary.

The weeks games have changed the posi-

the tailenders. New Orleans is still in the
lead, but in all probability will change
places with Nashville this week. The two
clubs are now making an even fight Mem
phis is third in the race, but with strength
ened team will be likely to push New Or
leans close in the course of another week.
THE TAILENDERS.
The fight for last place is between Savan-
nah and Mobile with the chances strongly
in favor of Savannah's keeping it. Charles
ton is playing better ball than when the
team was here in April and stands o good
chance of taking third place before many
more games have been played. The follow

WORKING TOWARD THE GULF.
The Columbus Convention this Week
Changes in Steamer Lines.


Changes in Steamer Lines
The Chattahoochee River Valley Conven-
ton, which will be held in Columbus this
week, is counted upon to accomplish big re-
suits for Columbus and the people of the
Chattahoochee valley. The Columbus and
Gulf Navigation Company, which is ex-
pected to control the business on the Chatta-
hoochee and Apalachicola rivers between
Columbus and Apalachicola bay, has recent
~ been re organized. The object of the
Columbus convention is to urge
the improvement of the Chattahoochee,
Flint and Apalachicola rivers with view
to securing cheap water transportation in
competition with the railroads. About 100
delegates are expected to be present The
Columbus and Gulf Navigation Companys
steamers will connect at Apalachicola with
New York and Boston ships, and the COM
pany expects to build up through that chan
mel strong competition to rail transporta-
ton under the workings of the interstate
commerce law.
President Alexander of the Georgia Cen
trail, in speaking Of the matter a day or two
ago, said that so far as the interstate COM
merce law is concerned it will practically
have no effect uponriver transportation, and
he does not regard the movement at all in
the light of competition to the Central. The
Central has had line of steamers on the
Chattahoochee, but the route for some time
has not been a paying one and one of the
steamers, which has been laid up, will be
taken off and placed on the Savannah river
between here and Augusta.
The Savannah, Florida and Western and
the Florida Railway and Navigation Com
panies also have competing lines on both the
Chattahoochee and Flint. The Columbus
and Gulf Company has been organized in
opposition to these lines as well as to the
Central's line.
The placing Of steamer on the Savannah
river by the Central will establish at the
outset an opposition to the Augusta Steam
boat Company's proposed line

TEE HOME CLUB BADLY BEATEN
BY THE CAROLINIANS.

Weak Battery Work and Wretched
Fielding Gives Charleston the Game
The Baltimore Experiment Proves a
Failure Manager Morton Resigns
Other Changes Likely to Follow-Re-
suits Of the Weeks Games.
Seven hundred people went out to the ball
grounds yesterday to witness the opening
game of the Charleston-Savannah series
The most of them expected to see Savannah
beaten, and they were not disappointed. 1t
was game remarkable only for the home
clubs poor playing and the visitors big
score
Gaul, a young Baltimore pitcher,
who came here highly recommended
by Shreve, of last years Savannah team,
was put in to pitch, but proved wild and in
effective aud was relieved in the fourth in
ming by Brewer.
Adams, who was released before the team
left home was given trial at short and
proved miserable failure.
Durmeyer second baseman, who was
signed in New Orleans, started from there
with the club, but took the wrong train
at Pensacola Junction and did not reach
here until last night. hutchinson played
second base until the third inning, when he
was injured in the groin and retired, Reilly
taking his place and Enlslie relieving
Reilly Peltz played first after the fourth
inning and Gaul went to centre field. The
Encouragement of the team did not better
things.
CfGAaLEsToN'S HEAVY BATTING.
Brewer who pitched well at first, soon
lost his effectiveness, and in the sixth inning
the visitors by heavy batting, aided by the
locals errors, piled up o runs.
The crowd became disguised and good
many left the grounds. 1t was Ladies' day,
and the grand stands were both filled, but
before the game ended more than half the
crowd had gone. 1t was, so far the locals
were concerned, "a succession of errors from
the start all the way through the game.
The only runs that Savannah made were
by Campau and Brewer, in the first inning.
The crowd was III good humor, and
applauded the visitors for their good
luck and the home teams errors.
slack" Peltz, Brewer and Campau
were cheered whenever they came from the
field to the players bench. The team wore
its handsome new uniforms-blue pants,
white shirts and caps with maroon stock
ings ana maroon trimmings-but the uni
forms were lost sight of by the crowd before
the game was more than half finished.
